Noble gases are sometimes called "inert gases." what can you infer about the meaning of the word "inert" in chemistry?

Inert gases are ones that are non-reactive with other reactive gases and or other elements on the periodic table of elements. An example of a highly reactive gas is Fluorine.

Radon-222 or rn-222 has a half-life of 3.82 days. to determine the fraction of an original sample of rn-222 that remains unchanged after 7.646 days, we calculate the amount of rn-222 remaining after 7.646 days and divide it with the original amount. using 1 gram as a basis and using half-life calculation methods, we can determine that  0.249 or 0.25  grams of rn-222 will remain, and thus the fraction remaining is 0.25 or 1/4.
